COMMENTS: The Dodgers ride into Houston following a rare series win this month, facing a team with a nearly identical record (Dodgers are 38-43; Astros are 39-43) and armed with the team's only active arm with a complete game in 2008 (let alone only starter with a winning record). The difference is that the Dodgers are only 2.5 games back of the .500, division-leading Diamondbacks, while the Astros are 10 games behind the Cubs (and in fourth place in the Central). 'Ssuming the 'Stros 'ssent to the Dodgers' 'scent, 'sserting ourselves shouldn't be too much of an 'ssignment, I'm 'ssured. (Sorry for all the apostrophes, but these are your 'stros, maestro.)
